Party Shoes by Noel Streatfeild
2.0
Selina is sent a fancy party dress from America but there's a war on and she has no occasion to wear it. She holds a council with her cousins and they decide to put on a pageant at the local Abbey to raise money for charity.
.
The premise for this one is a little ridiculous. They end up with the Lord's son who is home injured and used to be a director helping them put on a ridiculous show with hundreds of people in it and about 1000 people coming to watch. Just so someone can wear a party dress!
.
The pageant planning and rehearsals go on forever and the book dragged on and on and took us about a month to get through. I enjoyed the ending but it took way too long to get there.
.
Also, did people in the 40's actually call their pre-school age children "old man" all the time? So weird!
